KCC 386/2013
This case involved an employee's request for promotion based on his educational qualifications. This was rejected as he was a non-national who was appointed on a temporary contract.
Background
The documents of the case revealed that the court dismissed the appellant's claim for an amendment of his salary.
Decision
The court said that the non-Kuwaiti citizen was appointed for a temporary period in accordance with Article 15 of Kuwait Law No. 15/1979. The court said that the employment contract of the appellant stipulated that he would onnly get paid a comprehensive reward and that he does not have the right to claim additional rewards or entitlements. The court said that the appellant's defence that he should be promoted based on his educational qualifications was irrelevant in this regard.
The court dismissed the appeal.
